Nike Air Force 1 '07 LX Vibram 'Black/Lemon Twist'
Black. Lemon Twist. Vibram Grip. The AF1 Taken Seriously.
The Nike Air Force 1 '07 LX Vibram in 'Black/Lemon Twist' is the Air Force 1 for those who take their footwear seriously enough to demand a Vibram outsole. Black and lemon twist — the sharp, citrus-bright yellow against a black base — on the LX construction tier with one of the most respected outsole technologies in performance and outdoor footwear. This is the AF1 that earns its place in the lineup through technical credibility as much as visual identity.
Style number IH1943-002.
Vibram: What It Means and Why It Matters
Vibram has been producing high-performance rubber outsoles since 1937, when Vitale Bramani developed the compound after a mountaineering accident on the Italian Alps demonstrated that standard footwear couldn't handle serious terrain. Vibram outsoles became the standard for serious outdoor, work, and performance footwear across the following decades — used by mountaineers, military personnel, and anyone whose footwear needed to perform on surfaces that standard rubber couldn't reliably handle. When Nike applies a Vibram outsole to the Air Force 1, the result is a shoe that carries the AF1's 40-year lifestyle legacy and adds the grip and durability credentials of one of the world's most respected outsole manufacturers. The 'Black/Lemon Twist' colorway gives that technical combination a visual energy that matches its performance ambition.
